I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 532 The third force in Chang'an begins to form

Before Dong Zhao and others left, Dong Zhao secretly put a roll of silk into Xun You's hand while others were not paying attention.

"Mr. Gongda, this is a letter from the family. We were entrusted by someone to forward it to Mr. Gongda."

Xun You was such a smart man. He immediately understood who had written this piece of silk.

It must be his uncle who has the reputation of "Wang Zuo Zhicai".

After seeing off Dong Zhao and others, Xun You returned to his room with Xun Yu's letter.

Although Xun You is Xun Yu's nephew, when it comes to his actual age, he is six years older than Xun Yu.

Xun Yu has the reputation of being Wang Zuozhi's talent, but Xun You has always felt that his political ability and talent are by no means inferior to this uncle.

But until today, he finally felt that he was still a few steps behind his uncle.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at it with a single eye, the entire Xun family can be compared to Xun Yu.

Liu Jian is really amazing.

It was previously thought that Xun Shuang took the initiative to seek support for Liu Jian for the sake of the Xun family, which made Liu Jian successful and benefited the Xun family.

But now it seems that perhaps from the very beginning, it was Liu Jian who used the Xun family, not the Xun family who used Liu Jian.

Thinking of this, Xun You looked down at the silk in his hand, with a helpless smile on his face.

"Uncle Wen Ruo, after all, you still have a sharp eye! Seeing far-reaching, my nephew really missed you by hundreds of steps this time."

……

But what Xun You didn't know was that Liu Jian, the general he was surprised and admired in his heart, was not just targeting him in the next step of Chang'an's layout.

There are two other people who are also in Liu Jian's plan.

And Dong Zhao is not responsible for contacting these two people.

Zhang Ji was responsible for contacting these two people for Liu Jian, and wanted to reach an alliance with them.

Of these two people, one is Liu Biao, a clan relative of the Han Dynasty, and the other is Ma Rizun, the grandson of Ma Rong, a great Confucian in Kansai.

The Fufeng Ma family is the top family of Kansai Shilin. Ma Rixun's grandfather, Ma Rong, has unique attainments in Confucian classics in Kansai.

In the hearts of the Kansai princes, the Ma family's accomplishments and prestige in Confucian classics have recently even surpassed that of the Yang family.

And because they are all famous families and relatively close geographically, the Ma family has always been very close to the Yang family, and supports any political decisions of the Yang family in the court.

Logically speaking, the Ma family should not have betrayed the Jinwen Gongqing Group headed by the Hongnong Yang family, but the person who came to find them now was Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji represented Liu Jian.

Liu Jian is a member of Zheng Xuemen, and behind him is Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kangcheng.

And Zheng Xuan also studied under Ma Rong in the past, and has a very close relationship with the famous Ma family in Kansai.

Of course, if it is just relying on the master-student relationship and ancestral contacts between some famous Confucian scholars, it cannot persuade Ma Rizun to give up supporting Yang Biao and others and turn to the team of Qingliu scholars supported by Liu Jian.

However, Liu Jian was able to master some other things, which made Ma Rizun willing to cooperate with him.

What can Liu Jian provide to Ma Rizun and Fufeng Ma's family?Very simple, that is the channel.

What channel can make Fufeng Majia so interested?

If he really cares about it, Madam Fufeng may feel a little ashamed.

Just because what Liu Jian can provide them is not an academic channel, but a channel to make money and upgrade the family business.

Over the years, the Fufeng Ma family has been adhering to the family principle of putting academics first, but at the same time adhering to the style of enjoying a luxurious life.

Because the Fufeng Ma family has the precedent of the Ma family...the family's extravagance is too extreme.

Ma Rong was indeed a famous Confucianist when he was alive, but as a master of Confucian classics, Ma Rong didn't pay attention to hard work and plain style.

On the contrary, Ma Rong attaches great importance to material life. When he taught students, he set up a red tent, taught students abroad, had female music, and had daily banquets and entertainment.

His lifestyle is very luxurious.

This is also because of the halo bonus of his famous Confucian scholar, if he were an ordinary person, he would have been attacked and scolded by Shilin Qingliu with excuses.

Ma Rong himself advocates extravagance, which is nothing. It's not a big deal to enjoy it alone... The problem is that Ma Rong's descendants also worship their grandfather, and their behavior is almost exactly the same as that of their grandfather.

The whole family can't change it!
The grandfathers and descendants of the Ma family all advocate luxury and are good at studies, but they are also the first-class families in the Han Dynasty to spend money on fun and enjoyment.

To be honest, the Ma family is more sophisticated than Liu Hong in terms of eating, drinking and having fun.

It’s not a bad thing to play well and be extravagant. The problem is whether you can live with your financial resources.

If you can live with financial resources, you are an elegant person.

If you can't support yourself financially and still prodigal, you are a crazy person.

Fufeng Ma's family originally had some property in Kansai, but their property would never survive the misfortune of generations of descendants.

In the generation of Ma Rizun, to put it bluntly, although the Ma family of Fufeng looks good on the surface, its accounts have completely shown a deficit. Just relying on the land left by the family cannot support such a large family member of the Ma family. overhead.

But for so many years, the Fufeng Ma family has always been famous in Kansai for this style of life, and their extravagant life is also the pride of their family.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Ma family is a learned and wealthy family, which is enviable.

You asked Fufeng Ma to tell the outside world that they were on the verge of bankruptcy, and that all of Ma's children would rather commit suicide by jumping off the building.

For people in these families, face may sometimes be more important than life.

Therefore, the question arises, in the Han Dynasty, who was the richest person with the most resources, the most extensive business channels, and the most industrial distribution?
As long as you are not stupid, you will basically answer two words.

Liu Jian!

Who can reach out and pull Fufeng Mashi out of this abyss?
The answer is... Liu Jian.

Today, under the leadership of Zhang Miao, the Bachu Group in Central Plains has carried out in-depth cooperation with Liu Jian.

Hebei's commercial products and the rare things they got from Liaodong, the northern border, Hanzhou and other places, including the commodities exported to the outside world, were in Liu Jian's hands through the channel of dispersing to the states through the Central Plains.

Liu Jian wants Fufeng Ma to be rich, it's very simple.

As long as he tightens the channels in his hands and the resource supply of Hebei's high-quality products, allowing Fufeng Ma to occupy the majority of Hebei commodity wholesale rights in Kansai, then he will make Fufeng Ma reach the top overnight.

Therefore, when Zhang met Ma Rixun and tactfully attacked him from the side, Ma Rixun's position became a little uncertain.

After all, the promise Liu Jian gave him was no ordinary promise.

That is a huge profit promise that can stop the shortfall caused by the three generations of his Ma family.

After passing this village, there is absolutely no such shop.

The extravagance of the Ma family is now an important indicator affecting the reputation of the Ma family in the Han Dynasty.

After all, many scholars envied them!

However, if this continues, the Ma family will go bankrupt while maintaining the dignity of their extravagant style. This is a dilemma...

Even the Hongnong Yang family is helpless in the face of such a big deficit of the Ma family.

Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, the only one who can help them now is Liu Jian.

Zhang Ji put the model of Qingzhou brocade and solid wood furniture in front of Ma Rixun with a smile.

"As long as Ma Gong is willing to cooperate with the general, the right to sell these two products in Kansai in the future will be your Fufeng Ma's."

Ma Rizun's throat rolled, and he swallowed a mouthful of spit unintentionally.

"Hebei Momo, and cattle, sheep and horses?"

Ma Rixun was a person who couldn't chew more than he could chew, so he directly asked about two other things that he was very concerned about.

Zhang Ji sighed: "Magong, oh Magong, some things have to be done step by step. If the general can give you the right to cancel these two things, it is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous to the Fufeng Ma family. If you really want other Hebei resources If you want to cancel the power, then you have to show sincerity and do something for the general."

"After all, the money in Hebei didn't come from the wind, did it?"

Ma Rixun stroked his beard and thought about it for a long time, but finally saw his eyes light up suddenly.

"I personally wrote a letter to the general and asked Lao Derong to pass it on."

"Naturally, naturally." Zhang Ji smiled.

Being able to say this basically means that it is done.
